Abstract:
Transportation systems have been impressed the humankind societies in an astonishing way. However, there are some weak points that have been accompanied with them. In order to decrease these effects, some strategies such as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) methods have been proposed in some few literatures. In this study, regarding increasing women’s role in urban trips and also some gender based differences; the effects of pricing have been applied as a management method through a Logit Model. Results show that using dummy gender based values would lead to more reliable consequences rather than some separated models with insufficient information. Moreover, it was concluded that women are more sensitive than men regarding out of vehicle travel time which can be interpreted as their lack of safety feelings. It can be concluded that women are more inclined to use public transportation systems
